| The Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program |
| The MGSP Program is a cooperati ve effort between the Michigan Departme nt of of Agricultur e, Michigan State University Extension , USDA Natural Resource s Conservat ion Service, Michigan's Conservat ion Districts, and AmeriCor ps. |
| This Progr am is design ed to help indivi duals reduc e the risks of groun dwate r conta minati on associ ated with pestic ide and nitrog en fertili zer. |
| Why Protect Groundwater? |
| Half of Michigan's residents rely on groundwater for their drinking water. Groundwater also recharges our surface waters, which are used for drinking, as well as habitat for fish and other creatures in rivers, streams and lakes. Preventing groundwater contamination is necessary to sustain our health and quality of life here in the Great Lakes State. |
